The total cost of these materials was £18,505 14s. 5d. as compared
with £16,788 9s. 5d. for the year ending Lady Day, 1891, an increase
of £1,717 5s. 0d. A less quantity of granite has been purchased for the
repair of the macadam roads than last year, the macadam removed
from parts of Holloway Road and Highgate Hill prior to those roads
being paved with granite setts having been utilized for repairing
macadam roads in other parts of the Parish. Notwithstanding this,
the total expenditure is, owing to the increase in price of all road
materials and of Masons' and Paviors' work, and to the fact that a
greater quantity of the latter work has been executed than during the
previous year as stated above, in excess of that for the previous
year.
